The Victorian Planning Authority proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely.

We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us.

We embrace the spirit of reconciliation, working towards the equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice.

What is the Arden Precinct?

The Arden Precinct is a 44-hectare urban renewal area located around the new Arden Station in North Melbourne.

Arden is proposed to be an employment and innovation precinct and a thriving new neighbourhood for Melbourne’s inner north-west. It aspires to accommodate approximately 34,000 jobs and be home to around 15,000 residents.

The precinct is bounded to the north by Macaulay Road, the east by Macaulay Road and Dryburgh Street and the south and west by existing railyards on the Upfield line.
